Procedure

To a solution of [(1S,2R)-1-((S)-2-oxo-4-phenyl-oxazolidine-3-carbonyl)-2-phenyl-propyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (710 mg, 1.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (18 mL) and water (4 ml) at 0° C. was added 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide (1.5 mL, 15.1 mmol) followed by 1M aqueous lithium hydroxide (5.0 mL, 5.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The excess hydrogen peroxide was quenched with 2.0 M aqueous sodium hydrogen sulfite (15 mL, 30.1 mmol). Stirring was continued for 1 hour followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The aqueous layer was acidified with 10% aqueous citric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate extracts were washed with water, brine and dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give (2S,3R)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-phenyl-butyric acid (420 mg, 90% yield).
